Subject: Quotes Just In From ICANN Meeting On IOD

Message:
 

 
       
      From Ken:

      "I have strong empathy and support of the pioneers."

      "IOD is a candidate for my basket, but so is Afilias"

      "I think all could succeed."

*****************************************************************
      Neustar is being called "an empty application" by Ken and others.

       From Mike:

       "I think what Chris did deserves a lot of credit, but the model which IOD proposed is EXACTLY WHAT NSI PROPOSED SIX YEARS AGO, AND THAT GOT US INTO A LOT OF TROUBLE."

       ***Note From Me - NSI is valued at over $20 billion today***

       From Esther:

       "IOD doesn't seem to cut it, and I don't see how it is going to work."

       "I don't think that initial surge is going to work at $35 per head when there are other options out there...I don't think this is the one."

        Didn't Catch The Name:

        "IOD is everything we have worked against for years: separation of registrar and registry."

        ***Note from me - it seems that IOD biggest supporter is going to be Ken (Is Ken positioning himself to say, "Don't blame me, I didn't do it)? - My opinion is that if Afilias can't have it in round 1, no one will have, and we'll find another way to get it in round 2.***

        What do you think?
